While I understand your concern, this scheme with multiple embedded types follows the standard(*) scheme for a layered network stack: each layer has a packet layout (aka type) which is embedded in the "data" field of the packet layout of the layer below. *: "standard" here does really mean "essentially the whole world does it this way" (e.g., TCP/IP, but I can't think of a counterexample at this point ;-)).
